Multiple Choice
Which following facts about the DNA structure is false?
The DNA molecule is made up of a ladder like structure, called a Double Helix.
All DNA structures in the body are identical
A DNA molecule is made up of Nucleotides.
DNA can be found in the nucleus and are grouped into chromosomes.

Reorder
Resources for extra learning:
As explained by Bergtrom (n.d.) in the article The Process of Replication, DNA replication involves the joining of nucleotide building blocks through repeated dehydration reactions, resulting in the formation of a long DNA strand.
With this knowledge, reorder the steps of DNA replication.
Unwinding- The enzyme helicase creates a replication fork.
Priming- Primase adds short RNA primers for synthesis.
Elongation- DNA polymerase adds new nucleotides.
Leading and lagging strands are made
Joining- Ligase seals the fragments together.
